View MoreChapter 20I could not believe what I was hearing. Sonia, one of my closest advisors, had betrayed me and my mate. The thought of her plotting against Khalan’s pregnancy filled me with rage. I had trusted her, confided in her, and now she had caused me so much pain.I did not waste any time. I ordered the guards to lock Sonia up in the dungeons and prepare for her execution. I wanted to make sure that she was punished for her crimes, but at the same time, I could not bring myself to do it, at least not yet.Days passed and I could not shake the feeling that something was off about the situation. I kept replaying the events in my head and could not help but feel that there was more to the story than I was being told. I decided to pay Sonia a visit in the dungeons to get to the bottom of things.When I reached her cell, I was taken aback by what I saw. Sonia was scared and weak, a far cry from the strong and confident woman I had known. I sat down across from her, and asked her what had
SONIA'S POVThe news of Khalan’s miscarriage brought me great joy. I was originally mad that my plan of poisoning and killing Khalan had not worked when I heard and even saw for myself that she was in fact still alive. I had been so disturbed and worried about the pack finding out about my failed mission. In the past weeks I had lived in worry and also with caution in case Eric found out about the poisoning or at the very least, if Khalan suspects that I had anything to do with the murder attempt. I went out to meet up with the other omegas and from them I heard about Khalan’s miscarriage. They were all talking about it with some sadness in their voices but I listen intently to know what had happened. When I heard that the baby had not survived, I struggled to hide and keep my excitement to myself before the others noticed it and began any suspicion. To try hiding my guilt and act as if I was as worried as they were, I drew close to where they were discussing to try to act up.“So the
Sonia's POVHow can Eric punish me? In front of everyone at that? I thought to myself as I paced around the room.It was really embarrassing seeing others walk by me and stare at me like I was a decoration.It was okay for him to punish other dressers but to punish me, with the way I feel for him and also with what we share together, it was really annoying.He might not think of me the way I do since the bitch was here but I'm sure he also feels the same way I do.I stared down at my hand as it shone red. It was already getting blisters and it hurt if I touch it."This was all Khalan's fault. If she wasn't here and if she hadn't seduce him, he wouldn't have bothered punishing me alongside those stupid girls."I tried to use my hands to push the door open as I always do but it hurt so bad that I can barely touch the door."Darn it," I muttered softly as I walked back to the bed. Eric had no idea that the punishment he gave me did not just hurt me physically but it also hurt me emotiona
Eric's PovMy joy knew no bounds as I paced to and fro in my chambers, the memories of me kissing Khalan followed my brain, I couldn't help but blush at it, I subconsciously began to fiddle with my clothes and grinned widely, a knock on the door brought me back to reality."My lord, your wine." A maid yelled from the other side of the door.I smiled to myself, I needed to drink some wine to celebrate my dear, it made me happy and joyous but I was suspicious, no maids were allowed in my chambers save for male, why was she here?"Give it to the guards, you may leave." I ordered.I heard the shuffling of feet and then she was gone, another knock interrupted my thoughts and someone came in, I lifted yo my head to see Milan; on of my guards, he bowed and carefully dropped her tray if wine on the table and left, I stood up and took a sip out of it, it was delicious and reminded me of Khalan's lips.I could almost feel the taste of her lips on me, it was heavenly and though it was brief, I d
HARDIN'S POV I dashed through the forest, dry leaves crunching beneath my feet as the wind howled a mournful tune, as if warning me of an impending doom, but this only made me run faster, numb to the pain I had felt during the fight. Torns tore at my skin, with tree branches slapping my face as I raced between them, half blind.Nothing was working in my favor. The moonlight had been out before, but now that I was trying to run for my life, it hid behind the dark clouds, and made it even harder for me to run.How could I have been so foolish? How could I have let my guard down? I had been so annoyed at the fact that I didn't succeed in my plan to kill Eric that I didn't check my surroundings, and opened myself to the attack.Although all the men I had attacked were laying lifeless where we had battled, it didn't make me feel safe. For all I knew, there could be more men lurking around and waiting to attack me. Due to the injuries I had sustained, my senses weren't as sharp as before,
KHALAN'S POVI watched Nyall rush out of the dungeon. My muscles screamed and my bones jerked as I cracked an aching neck and fingers. I felt so tired from the day I had very little energy left and found it easier to focus on that exhaustion as I made for my bed, my soles screaming with each step I took closer to my bed.It had barely been a minute since I fell asleep when there settled in my chest a feeling of unease, like something dark was looming over me. I tried to wake up but couldn't move, almost like my hands were held by invisible chains to the bed and my legs were being held down by a pair of arms. My heart raced with each attempt I made at freeing myself and jumping awake, every effort seemed wasted and the more I struggled, the tighter the bounds and the further I was pulled from reality. The wind made matters worst with each sweep of dust and I was certain I was going to have a heart attack when a familiar face appeared before me. My shoulders slacked seeing that hair. Hi
Khalan's PovIt was so shocking to me to realize that Hardin wanted to harm me. I wasn't too sure why he was so eager to do that to me, because he had always seem to be very good and friendly towards me.Thoughts of that dream go me so scared as hot drips of sweat flew down my Spain. I wasn't save at all,if that was the case. There was only one way to know why Hardin wanted me died by all means and that was for me to go over to the pack and ask Eric about it . It was very possible that he would be able to provide me with the answers I seeked.I got up immediately from where I had been laying down and quickly got the hot sweats cleaned off with my palms. As I tried making my move out I could only realize how Shakey my legs were. I managed to put myself together as I stormed my way to the pack. The dream kept coming back as I took to the road down to the pack. How intense my struggle was, the face he gave ,how mean he was and how determined he was to hurt me. It all kept coming back

I had been frustrated by Hardin and forced to dive into feelings I had fought back with all my remaining alpha strength.My pack noticed this change in my behavior and became worried, they tried to intervene but I refused to listen or talk to anyone. My beta, Nyall sensing the seriousness of the situation, called for a pack meeting.

KHALAN'S POVAfter a nudging persistence from Eric and the guards, I finally agreed to go with Eric back to his chambers.

Seeing that I had no choice at all, I obliged and went with him. He was glad I did. When I stumbled upon Eric’s chambers again, I finally felt safe and secure without the feeling of burdening Eric. He took me under his protection and we stayed together in his chambers for the next few days.At first, everything seemed fine, I started to glow with my skin popping and radiating. But as the days passed, I started to notice stranger changes happening to my body. My skin felt hot and I began to feel pains in my abdomen. Eric made sure that I was satisfied and happy.One night, as Eric sat by my side, I confided in him about what I was feeling. “Eric, I don’t know what’s happening to me. I f
